Investment Policies

This section includes a number of our policies relating to the discretionary investment management services/segregated accounts offered by Barings.

UK Stewardship Code

The UK Stewardship Code sets standards for investors in UK Equities for monitoring and engaging with the companies they own and aims to improve the quality of dialogue between investors and companies to help improve long-term risk-adjusted returns to shareholders.

The UK Stewardship Code sets out a number of areas of good practice to which institutional investors should aspire and also operates on a ‘comply or explain’ basis. The UK Financial Conduct Authority requires UK authorised investment managers to report on whether or not they apply the Code. The UK Stewardship Code aims to make investors more accountable to their clients and beneficiaries, as well as helping companies.

The attached document sets out our UK investment managers position on the UK Stewardship Code.

Pillar 3 Disclosure

The Barings Group contains a number of firms that are regulated in the UK by the Financial Conduct Authority that are required to make certain disclosures in order to comply with regulatory requirements and provide information on risk management policies and certain capital requirements.
